Chapter 314: Chapter 148 Woof Woof Woof
On the morning of the 2nd, the sun had not yet risen, and Su Huai, who had gone to bed early, was already awake.
The faint light of dawn shone through, and standing on the balcony, he couldn’t see the sea, but he could smell the fresh, briny air.
Su Huai stretched languidly and turned to look at Gu Jiuyue’s villa, where the lights were already bright.
Wu and the others should be awake by now, but Xiaojiu might not be.
Taking advantage of the rare quiet, Su Huai decided to open those two high-level lotteries.
This girl was a treasure trove, having contributed numerous extremely useful abilities, and it was obvious that she still had potential.
"May all the gods bless me, Mr. Tongzi bless me!"
Su Huai rubbed his hands together, placed three cans of beer on the small round table on the balcony, and then lit a cigarette.
Is sincerity the key?
NONONO, this is called being bored out of your skull...
Opening the high-level roulette, Su Huai took a casual glance, and the prize ratios were the same as before.
No sooner had he averted his gaze than his expression suddenly froze, and he hurriedly looked up, once again turning his attention to the roulette.
Huh?
Why did it change?
The probability of each level of prize was still the same, with two gold prizes, a total ratio of 10%, and two white prizes, also a total ratio of 10%, with red and blue as before.
But now, the white prize was no longer a fixed 7 million dog food but... a question mark!
Why would such a change occur?
In Chen Nuanhan and Pei Shuyu’s high-level roulette, the white prize’s dog food was a fixed number, wasn’t it?
Su Huai pondered for a while, and suddenly a guess arose in his heart, could it be...
Very likely!
Su Huai got excited in an instant, staring at the White Zone, licking his lips.
Let’s draw, let’s draw, as long as it’s not the blue prize, I’m definitely going to make a killing today!
With bated breath, Su Huai used 70 points of Favorability Rating on the roulette, and then looked up silently at the sky.
5 seconds later, the pointer came to a rest within the white border.
Wish fulfilled!
Su Huai grinned, extremely pleased, yet not overly surprised.
Mr. Tongzi’s roulette wasn’t entirely about natural probability, but a typical non-natural probability model influenced by various factors.
Put simply: the more effort Su Huai made for Favorability Rating in a sufficient and ingenious way, the higher the hidden "luck value" would be.
Conversely, if the Favorability came too easily, then he would be left to rely on pure chance.
Su Huai had already deeply understood the nature of the system, which, in fact, played its cards openly from its very first call—
[The Harder You Work, The Luckier You Get System Is At Your Service]
It indeed was a high-level cheat, but not the kind that force-fed you, but one that still required the host to strive and unleash their initiative.
Without effort, one could only get the bare minimum.
The harder you work, the faster the snowball rolls.
It is just that in terms of defining "effort," it took a less common path, focusing more on direction, choice, and wisdom, and not so much on those behaviors of blindly pushing forward in a dogged manner.
Reflecting on his failed past life, Su Huai suddenly had some new insights—
In my previous life, I worked hard enough, but I always had problems with direction and choice, so the failures were not just due to inherent intelligence or luck, but more so because I was too conventional.
I only dared to take the safe routes, striving within the bounds set by others.
Otherwise, I would not have missed out on the opportunities of Douyin and AI.
To be content as a wage worker was not the issue, as one’s foundation must be solid; the real problem was... with so much spare time, why didn’t I use it to explore new possibilities?
Even if I earned an extra 5,000 yuan a month, accumulating over time, my life would have entered another level, wouldn’t it?
Those with substantial capital, like Wang, were better suited to take cautious steps and gradually self-improve.
In contrast, Su Huai in his past life had nothing and should have been constantly expanding possibilities, seeking breakthroughs in direction while ensuring survival, and taking more low-cost risks.
I was exerting effort in the wrong direction...
Su Huai sighed softly, not in regret but in gratitude.
It feels great to have a second chance.
People grow mature through constant trial and error, but being reborn ensures fast cognitive improvement without the missteps, I really seem ready to make something of myself...
Thinking this, Su Huai smiled, shook his head, and with an eased mood, turned to look at the reward.
[Congratulations to the host for drawing 683,254,577 dog food]
The panel had only this simple statement, but it made Su Huai’s jaw drop, and he fell back into his chair.
So little?
Unit, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, million... billion!
How can it be so much?
"Dad!" Su Huai immediately turned into a obedient son, eager to communicate with Mr. Tongzi, "That’s terrifying, what’s the principle?!"
The system, still mechanical, provided a specific explanation.
[Since the wealth registered under Gu Jiuyue’s name is immensely astonishing, when high-level roulette draws dog food, it is no longer a fixed number but is awarded based on 7% of Gu Jiuyue’s total wealth at its current market value]
Shit!
Going back... Gu has nearly a hundred billion in wealth?!
Although it’s just market value, and not indicative of actual cash that can be liquidated, it’s still staggering.
Gou Huai’s eyes widened in shock, his lips trembling.
It took him a while to recover, his thoughts starting to flow again.
Don’t assume Gou Huai had no exposure; on the contrary, he knew all too well what a hundred billion meant.
Having muddled through society for a full decade and understanding the difficult nature of earning money and enduring hardships, then experiencing a few tycoons and sensing their capabilities and levels, one would not regard a "million yuan annual income" as a loser like those in Douyin comment sections anymore.
According to his current personal plan, if all stages of development went extremely smoothly and he managed to make Xingyu the number one entertainment guild on the entire network, signing Li Ziqi and several other major internet celebrities, then roughly by the end of 2018, the total market value of Xingyu could reach 10 billion.
